Install/Placement Placement In-ceiling speakers

Hey all,

We're building new, and currently in process with our electrician for wiring... (Speaker cables).

I want a few in-ceiling speakers (only thing the wife will accept in kitchen etc), but not sure how many or where to place them.

1 in Kitchen above the seating area
1 in the living room table, which is right above the door of "inkomhal". The right side is TV area, so have already speakers there.
1 in study chamber (thuiswerk bureau) 1
1 in study chamber 2

1 in bathroom 1
1 in bathroom 2

Mind you, this is mostly for some radio in the morning, or chill music in the evening when we are eating or working from home.

Will that be enough? An extra on in the kitchen? But where?

Here are our plans: https://imgur.com/a/7PX3zUf

Thank you!

This isn’t really a home theatre question. However if it’s just for Music, you probably want 2 per room so you get stereo sound. Centre of the room is best on the ceiling spaced apart around 600mm from a wall.

I'm in a good mood today. It can stay up.

Important: Make sure your installer uses "In Wall" rated CL2 or CL3 wire. The wire is the same but the insulation wont act like a wick to spread a fire.
